This is an analysis of other texts written about the topic you are researching. The point is to show you understand the material and to demonstrate how your work differs.

A review of related literature is a summary of current information, projects and information that is related to your specific research project. This is a key step early in a reasearch project to find out what ideas and information have already been previously gathered before you begin your study.
